Assessment of Statistical Methods Applied to Geochemical Data for Paleoenvironmental Interpretation: A Case Study from the Al-Azraq Basin, Jordan
(2021)This study investigates the appropriateness of statistical methods frequently applied to inorganic geochemistry data for indicating past environments. The data examined are two large geochemical data sets of cored lacustrine ... -
Biogeochemistry and inorganic geochemistry as indicators of the paleoenvironment and paleohydrology of the Al-Azraq Basin, Jordan
(2013)This study investigates the biogeochemical and inorganic geochemical indicators for past environments and paleohydrology of a high resolution sediment record from the Al-Azraq Basin, Jordan. The second largest basin in ... -
Comparative Analysis of Marine Diatom Species Richness and Diversity Across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum at Different Latitudes
(2022)This study examines the impacts of rapid warming experienced during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) at approximately 56 Ma on marine diatom communities and how these effects differ based on latitude. Understanding ... -
The Ebb and flow of policy, economics, and science: an analysis of policy drivers in the Missouri River Basin
(2013)The Missouri River basin underwent a major transformation when the United States Congress approved the Flood Control Act of 1944 and the Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project of 1945. Generations removed from those ... -
Investigating laminated sediments of the Al-Azraq basin, Jordan and the implications for paleoenvironmental variability
(2021)This research examines cored sediments recovered from the Al-Azraq basin, Jordan for laminated sediments. Laminated sediments have long been recognized from the Dead Sea basin, and determined to be varved deposits, or ... -
New applications of STEPL watershed modeling of CAFO feedlot runoff and implications of surface water impacts
(2015-07-27)Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) cattle feedlot runoff is hydrologically modeled using the Spreadsheet Tool for Estimating Pollutants Load (STEPL). STEPL estimates the annual nutrient load of nitrogen and ...
